    Linking between Access and an ODBC Database

    I created a link between my Access database and an ODBC database. The wizard created a new table in Access based on the table in the ODBC database I wanted to import. So anytime that table in the ODBC database is modified, the new table in my Access database will similarly be updated, correct?

    But I need a table I created in Access to be also be automatically updated anytime someone enters information into the ODBC database - not just the table that was imported. How can I do that? How can I automatically copy tables from the ODBC table into one of my own Access tables?

    Don't import, set a link to the ODBC table.
    To provide db: Make copy, remove confidential data, run compact & repair, zip if large - 2mb allowed, attach to post. Attachment Manager is below the Advanced post editor window.
